France call up Jedrasiak and Trinh-Duc

Lock Iturria, 23, who has one cap, suffered concussion in Sunday's Top 14 Final victory over Toulon, allowing 24-year-old Jedrasiak to return for the first time since a Six Nations win in Rome on March 11.

The 30-year-old Trinh-Duc, a veteran with 58 caps, picked up a thigh injury two weeks ago but returned for Toulon on Sunday, and comes in as backup with Camille Lopez sidelined.

Lopez had been due to join up with Les Bleus in South Africa this week, but will now not travel and will undergo an unspecified operation. 

France play three test matches against the Springboks on June 10 in Pretoria, June 17 in Durban and June 24 in Johannesburg.
